Philadelphia theatergoers will have one final week to get their tickets to Cameron Mackintosh and Andrew Lloyd Webber's spectacular new production of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. PHANTOM plays at the Academy of Music through Saturday, April 12 only.

Remaining performances include: Tuesday - Thursday evenings at 7:30 pm; Friday & Saturday evenings at 8:00 pm; Sunday evening at 6:30 pm; matinees Saturdays at 2:00 pm and Sunday at 1 pm, with two additional performances scheduled for Monday, April 7 at 7:30 pm; and Thursday, April 10 at 2:00 pm.

Tickets starting at $30.50 can be purchased by calling 215-731-3333, online at kimmelcenter.org/broadway, at the Kimmel Center box office, Broad & Spruce Sts. (open daily 10 am to 6 pm) or at the Academy of Music box office, Broad & Locust Sts., (open during performances only).

With newly reinvented staging and stunning scenic design, this new version of PHANTOM, the most successful musical of all-time, is performed by a cast and orchestra of 52, making this one of the largest productions on tour in North America. Cooper Grodin portrays the man behind the mask, 'The Phantom,' with local Philadelphia-area native Julia Udine as 'Christine Daaé,' Ben Jacoby as 'Raoul,' Jacquelynne Fontaine as 'Carlotta Giudicelli,' Craig Bennett as 'Monsieur Firmin,' (Brad Oscar beginning April 7), Edward Staudenmayer as 'Monsieur André,' Linda Balgord as 'Madame Giry,' Frank Viveros as 'Ubaldo Piangi' and Hannah Florence as 'Meg Giry'.

Based on the classic novel Le Fantôme de L'Opéra by Gaston Leroux, THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by employing all of the devious methods at his command.
